In the military when you're close to getting your discharge, you're said to be 'short' as in maybe 'you are short three sixty-five' and that seriously sucks as it means you only just got there. When you get down to short thirty, people will start counting down with you. Maybe it's different without the draft but that's how it worked back then.
The Cadillac Man is short one seventy-nine which sounds long for the military but he's talking about retirement so, relatively speaking, he is getting extremely short. There's that big step into Free Fall when you know the next day there is not one person in the world who can tell you to do anything. For some that's terrifying as they don't know what to do. Even worse, they will be so terrified they don't stop working and eventually keel over in that office chair. Very sad.
Being short is extremely good as you get that thinking in your head, hmmm, what will I do first. There's a small hazard in this as you may try to turn retirement planning into another job and then you'll need an iPad to verify you are where you are supposed to be and have adequate connectivity to your 'circle' and blah, blah.
People don't ask so much when is the fun part as they have abandoned any idea of a fun part. They have crushed the part inside themselves that tells them, hey, let's try some crazy shit for the fun of it. The fun part isn't that far away if you abandon your fear of it. Life without structure is the finest luxury there is and you save up all your life for it. When it's in reach, fookin' take it!
Thank you, Cadillac Man. The encouragement to play is enormous and is deeply appreciated. There is huge positive energy that comes out of our talk and I even talk a bath earlier so that can only mean one thing: fookin' play. The situation with Lotho is a heartbreaker as he's feeling I do things to force him to solve them but that's not true. I do them because they need to be done and I have no idea how, who or what will solve them at the time. Help has come from unexpected places and more so than you might think as some want total anonymity.
I still don't know if the music has any value but I went to some shows today and, whew, I'm not the worst. So the video has to be shot with the two cameras or no-one can possibly understand the point of what I did. So get on with it.
